22 top brunches in Abu Dhabi

BubbaliciousThe deal: The brunch consists of three main stations featuring Asian, Mediterranean and Arabic dishes. There are also two more stations full of yummy sushi and fresh seafood. Vegetarians are well catered for but Bubbalicious probably suits meat eaters the best.

Atmosphere and setting: Modern and simple yet with an air of elegance. If the weather permits, opt to sit outside to soak up the atmosphere of the beautiful hotel grounds and the Abu Dhabi Golf Club. Make sure you try: Anything from the delicious sushi selection, the butter chicken, the Arabian lamb dish and the chocolate fountain.

What needs fine-tuning? More dessert options wouldn’t go amiss.

What should you wear? Opt for smart casual at the very least – but if you want to get dressed up, ‘chic lawn attire’ would probably suit this venue best.

Why you’ll return: The unlimited free flow of bubbly as part of the Bubbalicious package is great value for money. The service is excellent and there’s a wide variety of options on offer, plus the food is fresh and appealing. You can tell work has gone into the presentation and it hasn’t just been slopped on a plate as so many other brunches tend to do.Dhs240 with juices, mocktails, Westin Blend coffee and Jing tea, Dhs270 with grape and mixed drinks, Dhs490 with bubbly. Fridays 12.30pm-3.30pm. The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort & Spa (02 616 9999).

FRIDAY BRUNCH AT LE DECK:
My Husband and I went for Friday Brunch at Le Deck. We had very high expectation from the place as we have been to couple of good brunches in Abu Dhabi. But unfortunately we were very disappointed with the whole package. The only good point was the view. The view is very nice.
The Brunch isnt actually a brunch. It is a set menu with very less/ practically no choices. There is a three course menu with three/four items every time. The food isn't delicious. It is just a normal tapas food with nothing special about the taste or presentation. I was looking forward to a good brunch which unfortunately didn't happen.Even the Desserts weren't good. Though they have a live station for the desserts which actually is like a brunch.
I wouldn't recommend it to people who would want to visit the place for the brunch. It isn't worth.
Talking about the prices. It is very very expensive to what we get. They offer three packages. Two for Alcoholic and one non alcoholic. We opted for the house wine option which to our surprise didnt have cocktails included in it. Generally in all brunches we have been too included cocktails. It is hence overly priced for what options of food/drinks we get.
Again reiterating the point that it was a disappointment to a brunch which we were looking forward to attend.Hence not recommended to the Friday Brunch Lovers.
The view no doubt is great and that is the only plus point Le Deck had to offer to us.
